THE MIND BOGGLES!! |
Change Your Life | January 26 2023 No. 793 |
What if you have a track record of not being able to achieve goals and objectives? What it you look upon yourself as a failure? Well, I've some very important news for you - you need to watch this week's video!
"Oh my God - I've just realised that I've wasted the first 59yrs of my life!" A comment to mirror many similar comments that I've heard over the years, from people who have realised that... life starts now.
"Oh my God - what damage did I inflict upon my little children when they were 2 or 3yrs old?" A different version of the same thing.
None of the above matters. The only thing that matters is what you do now. Now is all that matters because, this now sets up the next now and the next now and so on. In doing the right thing we now we set our lives off in a trajectory that is unrecognisable and, indeed, unimaginable, to the normal mind.
We, as people burdened with the mind that evolution gave us, will always perpatuate our track record in not being able to bring about change in our life because that evolved mind is designed to prevent change. It's not that we're change averse, it much worse than that - we're wired to not change.
Most people will look back on the resultant track record and not so much throw up their hands in despair but seriously question that mental health of someone like me who tells them that they can change their lives in the twinkling of an eye.
What is "the twinkling of an eye"? Well, it's called a now - the nows in which you either live your life or miss your life as it passes you by.
How can my life change in "the twinkling of an eye?" Simple: by allowing yourself to choose to turn up to this now, right here, right now. That's how!
Give yourself twice the time that it normally takes you to do some small everyday task and, as you perform it, immerse yourself in it. Do it like you've never done it before. See, feel, hear, smell and taste as if each sensation were a lifetime first.
This immersive experience is called living in the now - and it will, as today's Reflection suggests, set your life off on a whole new trajectory that your thinking mind couldn't even begin to imagine.
